As you can see, the
present organization mixes chapters on legal systems with thread
chapters (boldfaced above), chapters discussing issues that run
through multiple legal systems. I have tried to arrange things
so that each thread chapter comes after the system chapters to
which it is most relevant.

I would be interested
in hearing, from anyone who has read through the draft, whether
he thinks it would work better if arranged as all of the system
chapters followed by all of the thread chapters.
